09.06.2026 The AI data centre boom is starting to falter before it's really began. 50% of AI data projects are being delayed or canceled. This is despite already causing damage to many communities. In this episode we explore.
It started with a fake car listing on eBay. What looked like a simple online scam quietly grew, over more than a decade, into one of the most sophisticated cybercrime operations the FBI had ever traced. Custom malware. Opsec off the charts. Fleets of infected computers mining cryptocurrency for someone else. Millions of dollars siphoned from victims who had no idea.
Bezalel Smotrich, the far-right Israeli finance minister and a leading figure in the Israeli settler movement, was among several Israeli lawmakers and cabinet officials who marched in the city's annual Israel Day parade. His appearance marked his first trip to the US in more than a year, and came less than a month after the international criminal court (ICC) was seeking an arrest warrant against him.
When you talk to people who have lived under dictatorship, you start to notice uncomfortable parallels to what's happening in the West right now. The surveillance creep. The ID mandates. The slow erosion of the right to communicate, transact, and move through the world privately. These are red flags that those under tyranny wish someone had pointed out to them sooner.

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has tabled an amendment to the Armed Forces Bill to ban the entry of foreign soldiers from countries that are subject to war crimes investigations. But the vote will only go ahead if the amendment is selected by the House of Commons Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle.
Prompt injection is the most critical vulnerability in deployed AI agents. Despite recent progress, we show that the prevailing defense paradigm (data-instruction separation) both fails to detect attacks that operate through contextual manipulation and degrades contextually appropriate behavior. We then recast prompt injection via the lens of Contextual Integrity (CI), a privacy theory that judges information flow compliance with contextual norms. This explains types of attacks that current defenses attempt to patch and predict advanced ones future agents will face. We develop unique benign and attack scenarios that force an agent to violate the norms by (1) misrepresenting the flow, (2) manipulating norms, or (3) mixing multiple flows. This reframing suggests an impossibility result: an adversary can always construct a context under which a blocked flow appears legitimate, or a defender who tightens norms will block genuinely legitimate flows. Our findings suggest that current research addresses a shrinking fraction of future attack surfaces. Instead, through CI, we offer a principled framework for evaluating context-sensitive failures, and designing CI-aware alignment for the frontier autonomous agents.
The treatment of the flotilla activists by Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir was shocking only to those who continue to clothe colonial violence in the soft language of security. There is now a mountain of evidence before humanity: Gaza has become not merely a place under siege but a geography of calculated despair, where starvation and bombardment have been converted into instruments of political management. The activists aboard the flotilla were not armed combatants, nor were they soldiers threatening invasion. They were international volunteers, human rights advocates, doctors, parliamentarians, and organisers attempting to break the siege imposed on Gaza. Their journey was political, moral, and humanitarian. Yet the Israeli state met them with humiliation, detention, and theatrical violence.
More and more wealthy individualsare buying up luxurious underground shelters to survive the apocalypse, whether it's in the form of a nuclear conflict that turns the Earth's surface into a radioactive wasteland, or a devastating pandemic that decimates the global population.

Ex-Google design ethicist and AI expert Tristan Harris reveals the truth about what artificial intelligence is about to do to jobs, the economy, politics, and the future of human purpose. After years inside Google and more than a decade researching the social effects of technology, Tristan warns that we are approaching a moment where AI outpaces human control and reshapes society faster than governments can react.

Jabotinsky actively courted the rising fascist powers of Europe. In 1934, with Benito Mussolini's enthusiastic approval, he established the Betar Naval Academy in the Italian port town of Civitavecchia. There, young Zionist cadets trained under Italian fascist officers, wore uniforms modeled on Mussolini's Blackshirts, and absorbed the militaristic, authoritarian spirit of fascism. The goal was explicit: to forge a ruthless Jewish fighting force capable of imposing Jabotinsky's "Iron Wall" on the Palestinian people. The academy operated until 1938, when Italy's growing alliance with Nazi Germany and the passage of anti-jewish race laws finally ended the partnership. Many of its graduates would later form the backbone of the early Israeli navy.

"I could hear screaming the whole time." Our guests Alex Colston and Haitham Arafat spent days in Israeli custody after being abducted from a humanitarian mission sailing to Gaza. They share accounts of violence, abuse and torture at the hands of Israeli soldiers. "The process that they have there in the jail was designed to break you as a human," says Arafat, a Palestinian American activist born in Gaza who has taken part in multiple missions attempting to break Israel's long-standing siege. Over 100 members of his family have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023. While incarcerated, the activists were visited by Israel's minister of national security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, who was recently banned from France after publicly ridiculing flotilla members. "They call us provocateurs, or they say we're terrorists... and yet, whenever Ben-Gvir shows up to these things, he's the one provoking us," says Colston, a journalist who was previously detained by Israel while sailing with the Global Sumud Flotilla last year.
It's hard to summarise the abuse activists say was meted out against them across three days last week, after 428 people were kidnapped in international waters near Cyprus last Tuesday. In dozens of interviews shared online, flotilla participants describe being told "welcome to Israel" by soldiers, and then by the national security minister himself, before being brutalised. One by one, people were taken away to a shipping container or tent, they say, where some were raped and all were beaten, while others outside had to listen to them screaming. Countless ribs were broken. People were shot at, attacked by dogs, photographed topless, denied water and injected against their will with unidentified drugs. Several activists remain in hospital in Turkey, one with a punctured lung, another with internal bleeding.

The scenes in the Green party press office were oddly familiar. Not a Mandelson-style tsunami of stories, but a slow drip. A weekly call - always 2pm on a Saturday - from a journalist on a 4pm deadline, requesting comment. More than one Green press officer worked for Labour during the Corbyn years, spending much of their time parrying accusations of antisemitism. Yet having recently been hired by the Greens' first Jewish leader, they hadn't expected to be thrown back into the fray so soon.
Who is Tommy Robinson and who helped him get to where he is today? Robinson sells himself as a patriot working for your interests, but who is he really working for? When we look into the background of the organisation he founded, the English Defence League, we could take the view that it was intended to be an offshoot of the terrorist Zionist organisation, the Jewish Defence League.
